Yes Jim,
I was going to ask how large the cat is?? Well do it by scale.... Pull the
cat thru 6 inch conduit.....
then put Your LMR400 into the 2" conduit.... make sure the bends are more
than 90 degrees...Cats don't like 90 degree bends !!! Hi Hi.... and go
for it....
I have just used Belden 9913 cable and ran it in 50mm 2" PVC conduit from
the top of the tower to the house and after hearing so many BAD things about
9913... I asked Belden.... who advised that 9913 should be left out in the
open !!!!
Oh well.... Mine is inside My 2" PVC Conduit... as its all above ground...
I placed a few Tee pieces in the conduit run to let it "breath" or
whatever!!!! I also painted the conduit flat black to keep the 9913 "warm"
and keep out the condensation!!!!
Best of Luck
Do it !! then don't read towertalk for a few weeks....

PS... I don't have a cat anyway... My last cat is still in the 3 inch
conduit between two 90 degree bends..!!!! Hi Hi...
